First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study looked at 24 children (ages 6-17) with narcolepsy or hypersomnia to see if changes in their daily metabolism explain why they often gain weight and become obese. Researchers measured energy use at home and in the hospital using activity trackers. The goal was to uncover the cause of weight gain in these children, which is not linked to their medication.
